LINCNYC.ORG - HARLEM READING EVERYWHERE WEEK
On Monday, May 13, 2013, Linda was the guest reader at the Kick-Off Literacy Fair where she read her fascinating fable to children at the Harlem Reading Everywhere Week held in the Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem.
It was fantastic! The children were thrilled at Linda's storytelling skills and really were quite taken with the story of Lucy Duck, her little magical duckling, Rainbow and all her intriguing farm friends. When asked questions by the author the children were ready with their answers, engaging in a spirited interaction with Linda concerning her children's book Have You Seen My Glasses? They were fascinated by the antics of would be rapper Maxx D and diva Pinky Pig, two of Lucy's interesting farm friends who volunteered to help her as she hatched her egg.
Linda was also part of a brief press conference along with the other authors present. Of course she was nervous, this being her first press conference, but she handled it well. Though the weather was slightly breezy, the sun did shine and it was dry. Marcus Garvey Park is beautiful and was the perfect place to have the readings as well as the events sponsored by LiteracyINC.
